Problem:

on the first start of Spotify Connect beaming to an AVR it starts with MAXIMUM VOLUME!

This can blow your ears and your speakers, it is realy dangerous not only annoying.

The volume is preset to max, you may notice it on the connect screen and hopefully you are fast enough to reduce it before it blows your ears.

It has nothing to do with the hardware keys, the soft vol control is set to max..

This happens since Spotify Update 2.4.0.825, before everything was OK.

It is probaly not related to the AVR because it hapens to Denon and Onky devices, please look to

My config:

AVR Onkyo 616 Release 1171-6110-0501 (Onkyo release for Spotify Connect)

Andoid Devs:

1) Acer Iconia Tab 511 Android 4.1.2

2) Huawei G330 Android AOSPA 4.4.4 / ParanoidAndroid 4.6

Please have a quick look on this problem, it is serious.

Thanx for your help
